RALEIGH, N. G., June 20-An unequal
led sensation agitates the people OF that
weu-known summer resort, the noun tain
town of Asheville, this state. Tuesday
papers there announced that on Wednes-
day, at Trinity Episcopal church, Rev;
Percy R. Eubanks, of the Eplseopai
parishes of Lexington and Concord, would
marry Miss Nettie Henry, daughter OF the
late Judge J. L. Henry, of AsheVllle. All
the parties were well-known, and society
was interested. The groom, very stylish
young clergyman, of fine family, left Tor
Asheville, Tuesday night. On his arrival
there he began to prepare Tor the mar
riage. As he was attiring himself MS
best man came in with an appalling an
nouncement that there was no bride. Inc
preacher was literally struck all OF heap
by this news, which proved to be true.
The expected bride had, without ceremony
and heavily veiled, taken the train out OF
Asheville, the previous evening, and had
gone east, actually passing Eubanks at the
town of Marion, meeting point OF trains.
Mr. Enbanks has left the city, sadder and
wiser. No.one knows whittier the intend
ed bride has gone, and no one can give
reason for her action.
